Krs-one - Knowledge Reigns Supreme (1997) lyrics

[Chorus: KRS-ONE] The word I bring to you today Is Knowledge Reigns Supreme You got no time to joke and play Cause Knowledge Reigns Supreme While others play that game for fame Their concepts bring you stress and strain But blessed are those that know my name Is Knowledge Reigns Supreme [Verse 1: KRS-ONE] Why do I call myself God when I'm speaking People always ask me this question when I'm teaching What you gotta understand is that Kris don't exist The only existence is God consciousness In God consciousness is what exists is Kris Your ego tells you that you doing all this You a Mister, a Mister professional lyricist I get rid of this forever, It only gets better Kris from the universe; you can never sever Cause there is no Kris, only the universe remember Go a little deeper you can check me My whole campaign is about living life correctly But don't respect me respect the universe Tt's her verse that I disperse [Chorus x1] [Verse 2: KRS-ONE] I'll bring you out the cave And change how you behave Everything is really particles and waves Not to mention your visual extension is ruled by perception Guiding your every direction If you really want money your mentality much switch If you really wanna be rich you gotta act like you're rich You can't act like a b**h if you wanna be a lady You can't get the gravy if you're sitting around lazy You can't be in the hustle if you ain't looking for trouble You can't be single if you know you're really double You can do it, yeah We can do it, yeah You can do it, yeah We can do it, yeah We the best Don't worry about the cards that they dealt ya' It's real I percieved myself out the shelter Every day and night seeing myself rock the mic' Lyrics tight, getting paid right for my mental sight Richer not poorer, expanding my aura To attract more'a positive energy [Chorus x1] [Background talking: Unknown] Uhh, one two my man Kris Flip the style you do it like this [Verse 3: KRS-ONE] Hard to forget it The culture thats inbedded check it It's energetic But people really want me deaded But Kris won't let it The same thing that you read I read it My hair is dreaded But hip-hop yes you must respect it We must direct it and use it positively So these skeptics can learn our mathetics Like metric I said it I'm about to shed it Why don't you check me like your credit You still don't get it You twist it like ???? ???? Rappers nowadays sound so pathetic Yo let me said it Although my presentation is derided And hypothetic My genetics is highly poetic and athletic But still some don't get it The paparazzi life is all synthetic The balancing of the mind is what's authentic The total body is ultra-magnetic [Outro talking: KRS-ONE] There's no need to be afraid Open your mind Do your knowledge Do your knowledge Stop studying your knowledge And do your knowledge
